Friend of mine is a truck driver for some company in Utah...the company IS “concerned”
I figure there are spot shortages in rural areas and that some rationing is happening behind the scenes. Do I trust the government saying there are 25 days of supply left in reserve if diesel production stops today—no way.
I have always bought an extra can or two of food on trips to the grocery store and will continue. When I see gas shortages cropping up then you know it’s going to get serious quickly. My wife’s co-worker is a shift manager at a local walmart distribution center and he’s indicating that in the last week they would be expecting shipments of 1800 pallets and have been receiving 600 pallet shipments. If this trend continues not good.
My son is a trucker. The company called him the other day to tell him their telematics showed he’s idling too much. They are concerned. Not sure what the plan is for winter to keep the sleeper warm.
